There are many types of massage. I will be able to help you discover the type that benefits
you the most. Here is a list of the massages that I offer.

ESALEN MASSAGE

Developed in the 1960s, this style originated at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, Calif., and
is based on a combination of Oriental and Swedish massage techniques. Esalen is light and gentle in nature, emphasizing nurturing
and empathy. The strokes are soft, easy, and slow, prompting deep relaxation. It is used to reduce stress, relieve pain, improve
sleep, aid digestion, and promote healing.

SWEDISH MASSAGE

One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment
designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate
the soft tissues of the body. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements,
with the application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized
relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from
injury.

NEUROMUSCULAR THERAPY

This comprehensive program of soft-tissue manipulation balances the body’s central nervous
system with the musculoskeletal system. Based on neurological laws that explain how the central nervous system initiates and
maintains pain, the goal is to help relieve the pain and dysfunction by understanding and alleviating the underlying cause.
Neuromuscular therapy can help individuals who experience distortion and biomechanical dysfunction, which is often a symptom
of a deeper problem. It is also used to locate and release spasms and hyper-contraction in the tissue, eliminate trigger points
that cause referred pain, rebuild the strength of injured tissues, assist venous and lymphatic flow, and restore postural
alignment, proper biomechanics, and flexibility to the tissues.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Techniques which utilize deep tissue/deep muscle massage are administered to affect the sub-layer
of musculature and fascia. These techniques require more advanced training and a more thorough understanding of anatomy and
physiology. The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep tissue massage, otherwise tight surface muscles
prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation,
and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendonitis. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques.

Myofascial release is the three-dimensional application of sustained pressure and movement
into the fascial system in order to eliminate fascial restrictions and facilitate the emergence of emotional patterns and
belief systems that are no longer relevant or are impeding progress. First, an assessment is made by visually analyzing the
human frame, followed by the palpation of the tissue texture of various fascial layers. Upon locating an area of fascial tension,
gentle pressure is applied in the direction of the restriction. Myofascial release is an effective therapeutic approach in
the relief of cervical pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, neurological dysfunction, restriction of motion, chronic
pain, and headaches.

MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

Based on the discoveries of Drs. Janet Travell and David Simons in which they found the causal
relationship between chronic pain and its source, myofascial trigger point therapy is used to relieve muscular pain and dysfunction
through applied pressure to trigger points of referred pain and through stretching exercises. These points are defined as
localized areas in which the muscle and connective tissue are highly sensitive to pain when compressed. Pressure on these
points can send referred pain to other specific parts of the body.

STRAIN/COUNTERSTRAIN

Developed by osteopath Lawrence Jones, this noninvasive treatment helps decrease protective
muscle spasms and alleviates somatic dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system. By using palpation and passive positional
procedures, the therapist practicing strain/counterstrain therapy can help restore pain-free movement. The position that relieves
the referred pain is held for 90 seconds. After resuming the original position and pressing the trigger point, the referred
pain is gone. Although the client is often asked to bend or twist to secure a comfortable position, for the most part clients
report effectiveness of the procedure.

JAPANESE HOT ROCK MASSAGE

This treatment is a sensuous union of two ancient therapies - one from Japan, and the other
from Native American - blending Shiatsu acupressure and perfectly warmed Pacific Northwest basalt rocks. Japanese hot rock
therapy is recommended for those who get regular bodywork and are accustomed to deep pressure. The unique rotation and exquisite
deep pressure of heat-radiating stones on targeted acupressure points melt areas of tension to seduce you into a mood of deep
inner peace and relaxation!

PRENATAL/PREGNANCY MASSAGE

Many methods of massage are both effective and safe prenatal and postpartum periods of women’s
pregnancies. Specific techniques can reduce pregnancy discomforts and concerns and enhance the physiological and emotional
well-being of both mother and fetus. In the postpartum period, specialized, advanced training in the anatomy, physiology,
complications, precautions, and contraindications is highly recommended, and many practitioners require referrals from physicians
prior to therapy. Recommended after 1st trimester.

RAINDROP THERAPY

Originated by D. Gary Young and the Lakota Indians, raindrop therapy technique is a noninvasive
tool for helping to correct defects in the curvature of the spine caused by viruses and bacteria that lie dormant there. Antimicrobial
essential oils are used to reduce inflammation by killing the viral agents, thus bringing the body into structural and electrical
alignment. The oils (primarily thyme, oregano, birch, cypress, peppermint, and basil) are dispensed like little drops of rain
from a height of about six inches above the back and massaged along the vertebrae. The oils used in this treatment continue
to work for the next five to seven days. For best results a series of 3 to 5 sessions is recommended.

SEA SALT GLOW

B

ody exfoliation is a service we should all consider every few months, or every few weeks during the summer.
Our skin becomes dry and begins to break down with the build up of residues from soaps, detergents and lotions and environmental
pollutants. Body Exfoliation helps polish away dull, dry skin. It also stimulates our circulation, which in turn feeds our
skin and causes it to look and be healthy again. The first step to any successful body care program, gentle or deep, exfoliation
eliminates dead cells, superficial toxicity, impurities and sebum accumulation. Exfoliation will render the skins roughest
areas soft and smooth resulting in a more youthful skin. Salt Glows exfoliation is done with Dead Sea Salt that works beautifully
on dry, dehydrated skin. Mineral Sea Salt, rich in sodium bicarbonate, are mixed with essential oils and a carrier oil such
as grape seed extract and gently rubbed over the body using a light, circular motion. This treatment leaves your skin soft,
supple and tingling with renewed life. Warm towels are then used to remove the sea salt mixture. Do not shave/wax or sun-tan
the day of or the day after a sea salt glow.
